FAQs
Why should I choose a licensed plumber in Whitwell for my tankless water heater installation?
Licensed plumbers have the training, insurance, and state-required credentials to ensure your unit is sized, vented, and connected correctly. In Whitwell, permits are only issued to licensed contractors, so hiring one protects your warranty, keeps you compliant with local codes, and gives you full recourse if any issue arises.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take?
Most residential tankless conversions in Whitwell are completed in one day. Our crew arrives in the morning, removes the old tank, upgrades gas or electrical lines as needed, mounts and vents the new unit, and tests everything for leaks and performance. Larger homes or complex retrofits can take up to two days, but you will have hot water before we leave.
Do I need to upgrade my gas line or electrical service?
Possibly. Gas-fired tankless heaters require a larger gas line (¾" or 1") to deliver enough BTUs, and electric models may need a 200-amp service and dedicated breakers. During your free on-site estimate, our licensed plumber measures existing utilities and lets you know what, if anything, must be upgraded to meet both manufacturer specs and Whitwell code.
What are the cost advantages of going tankless?
While the upfront investment is higher than a standard tank, tankless units last 20+ years (versus 8–12 for tanks) and can cut water-heating energy use by 25–40 %. They also free up floor space and qualify for Tennessee energy-efficiency rebates. Over their lifespan, most Whitwell homeowners see hundreds of dollars in utility savings and avoid the risk of tank ruptures.
How often will my new tankless water heater need maintenance?
Manufacturers recommend a yearly service that includes descaling the heat exchanger, cleaning the inlet screen, checking venting, and updating firmware if applicable. Our Whitwell plumbers offer affordable maintenance plans and can complete the visit in about an hour, keeping your warranty intact and your unit running at peak efficiency.
Will a tankless system provide enough hot water for my whole family?
Yes—when properly sized. During our consultation, we calculate your maximum simultaneous demand (showers, laundry, dishwasher, etc.) and select a unit with a flow rate that meets or exceeds it, even on Whitwell’s coldest winter days. If your household has very high usage, we can install parallel units for unlimited hot water on demand.
